Some top local favorites are Pad Ka Pao, Thai sausages, sticky rice, Pad Thai and noodle soup. you’ll find these almost everywhere in Thailand. So you now know what to order at a Thai street food vendor or a restaurant.
Pad ka Pao

Stir fried chicken and basil served with rice and egg

Pad ka pao is stir fried chicken (often pork) and Thai basil served with egg, soup and rice. It can be chili hot to spicy depending on how it was ordered. My suggestion is to order the “non-spicy” version and it will still have enough seasoning to taste yummy. This is a meal because it is served with rice, fried egg/omelet and clear soup. Pad ka pao is so appealing that I end up eating it very often for lunch or Pad ka Pao time. To order this at a Thai restaurant just say ” Pad ka pao” or “Chun tongkuhn pen gai kapao” it means: I want Pad ka pao chicken. It is always made fresh like everything else in Thailand.The price of Pad ka pao can vary from ฿25 to ฿50. It is normally about ฿35 in Chiangmai.

Thai Sausages: They are everywhere. Thai sausages are deep fried, cut and sauce is poured over them. They are served with cucumber. They come in all shapes, sizes, meats and colors, there are vegetarian sausages made from Tofu. It is a common snack that is eaten anytime. Sausage vendors can be found everywhere in Thailand, look for one and you’ll find it. Thai sausage vendors have little trays that are used to order sausages, just take your sausages from the box, put it in your tray and hand it over to be deep fried.

Sausages are priced ฿5 to ฿25 each, they are normally ฿5 or ฿10 each in Chiangmai and Phitsanulok.
